  • Opinion: Email to Baruch College about someone pointing a video camera at my class from a podium. 3/14/2022.

    Greetings Baruch College,

    Someone has a video camera on the podium in this classroom pointing at the class. 

    I’m not taking a picture of it because I’m not taking any pictures inside of a classroom. 

    It’s not my professors. I suspect it’s another professors. 

    It just seems a little strange to have a video camera pointing at the class from a podium. It’s one of the video cameras that people buy when they want to upgrade the video camera on a computer or laptop. 

    Not sure if I should contact you or the help desk about this. 

    I did not mention a word to my amazing professor about this because I highly suspect it’s not his video camera. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: Email to Baruch College about a student harassing me (3/11/2022).

    Greetings Baruch College,

    This was a very quick one. 

    I was walking up the stairs in the vertical building. 

    A student walked in front of me, so I slowed down to give him the right of way. He sort of faked like he was going one way and then went another way. Then he started to waive his cell phone in my face. 

    This happened on the six floor by the steps, not the escalator side. 

    I did nothing as usual. I didn’t say a word, I just kept walking. I have no idea who the student/person is. 

    Also, I don’t understand why students would be taking pictures or video recording other students, isn’t that against the rules? I don’t understand what someone might do with that video?

    Thank you for the offer to speak with Baruch College security about these issues. I’m going to respectfully say no thank you. 

    I don’t want to report any instances of students harassing me unless they are caught on Baruch College security cameras. I would prefer to avoid getting into she said/he said scenarios that would happen during the pre-technology era decades ago. 

    Regardless of what anyone does to me, I never say a word so I have nothing to defend. I don’t care if a student put her/his hands on me. I would just run away and then email you or the NYPD.

    There is nothing anyone at CUNY can do to me to get me to react in a negative fashion under any circumstances. 

    First of all, it’s the way I am. Second of all, CUNY is too valuable to me. 

    On a positive note, everything at school is going amazing. I love it here even with some students that I have no idea who they are harassing me for no reason. 

    Hopefully one day there will be more security cameras in the hallways although I know that there are a lot of people that have to connect to make a decision such as that at Baruch College / CUNY. 

    I’m about to do an informative speech in COM 1010. That is one of my favorite classes. 

    I’m going to do my speech about CUNY / CUNY grad schools so I can start to research where I want to go for graduate school. I’m sticking with CUNY. I love being part of the CUNY family. Nothing is perfect, overall CUNY is a stellar offering. 

    The only thing that would make me want to leave CUNY is the million to one long shot that my outside ventures start earning hundreds of thousands of dollars. This month I earned about $3 so I’m not quite there yet. 

    I owe a lot to CUNY, so I don’t want to give the impression that I’m always complaining. I started to attend office hours with my professors and it’s giving me a huge advantage in my classes. Office hours are such a valuable resource, I can’t believe I’m just learning it now. 

    Last thing, I wasn’t even filing my Federal or New York State taxes before attending CUNY. Now I file every year in January. That is one of dozens or hundreds of benefits I enjoy on a daily basis thanks to CUNY. 

    I’m going to continue to stay on top of my studies and one day soon I’ll get a roof back over my head. There is a lot of staff members at CUNY that helped me along the way that I can’t wait to go back to and say I’m not homeless anymore one day, including you. 

    Thank you again and have a great day.

  • Opinion: Email to the New York State Office of Higher Education about the NYPD trying to sabotage me at Baruch College.

    Disclaimers: If you have an emergency call 911. I’m not a lawyer. Use this information at your own risk. Verify everything yourself. This is my opinion.

    Greetings Deputy Commissioner and Office of the Deputy Commissioner,

    Office of Higher Education: NYSED

    I always treat everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times. That includes staff, professors, security guards, maintenance crew, and students. 

    Treating people respectfully is more important than anything. I never participate in controversial conversations at Baruch College out of respect for people’s feelings. 

    I love Baruch College, LaGuardia Community College, and The City University of New York. 

    My goal is to earn a C or D average. Grades are not my priority. I’m at CUNY to learn.

    I don’t have a criminal record. 

    I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t do anything illegal. 

    I never mention a word about people I know paying law enforcement in New York City to harass me to anyone at Baruch College or CUNY. 

    Every once in a while I might mention something to the Baruch College Dean via email. That is very rare though. 

    NYC law enforcement has a plainclothes lie and scam team that they use to do some of their dirty work. This can be proven with access to security cameras in New York City. 

    NYC law enforcement has dozens of Baruch College students that are members of their plainclothes lie and scam team. 

    I have offered to share my phone and bank records with NYPD Internal affairs, the Civilian Complaint Review Board, the Department of Investigations, the US Attorney Southern District, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, and many others. 

    The hope is that a government agency will match my locations to security cameras using my phone and bank records. Then security video can be recovered of NYC law enforcement’s plainclothes lie and scam team harassing me every day at Baruch College and outside of Baruch College. 

    NYC law enforcement has students at Baruch College harass me every day. For example, NYC law enforcement has female and male students block me from walking, cut me off, crash into me, and shove their phones in my face while acting like they are fighting for their lives and under attack. 

    NYC law enforcement has students and staff at Baruch College harassing me in the subway, in the street, at school, and in my classes. 

    For example, people in plain clothes will sneak up on me every day before school and blow vape smoke in my face. 

    Then during class at Baruch College between one and three people either directly in front of me or beside me will swing their legs around or bounce up and down in their chairs for the majority of the class. 

    Surprisingly, not one student in my classes has ever mentioned a word about it. Of course, I never said anything. If anyone thinks they can concentrate on work with that abuse, I’ll sit next to you in a chair and show you what they do while you try and be productive. 

    In my view, there is no way that NYC law enforcement could be placing students that they are connected with in my classes without the help of someone at Baruch College CUNY. 

    Another issue I have with Baruch College is the lack of security cameras inside the buildings. 

    Baruch College claims to care so much about sexual harassment and students’ safety yet if there is an altercation between students it will most likely be one student’s word against another as if we are living in the early to mid-1900s in the pre-technology era when it was much easier for law enforcement to set people up. 

    I’d be in jail right now in those days. For example, if 15 women who work for NYC law enforcement take the video of them shoving their phones in my face and say Mark Pine was following me; technology might save me. 

    To illustrate, I can show my phone records when I called every US Attorney in the United States, I called every FBI field office in the United States, I called the US Attorney Southern District’s Office hundreds of times until they blocked my phone number, I called the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office after hours and left thousands of messages, etc. Would someone that is stalking women do that and give his exact location, date of birth, etc., over and over? 

    I have been to the emergency room of New York City hospitals over one hundred times after being attacked by New York City law enforcement’s plainclothes lie and scam team. 

    NYC law enforcement’s lie and scam team has already drugged me for the first time today. 

    In total, NYC law enforcement and their lie and scam team have drugged me hundreds of times almost every day since I started at CUNY two years ago. 

    NYC law enforcement used to be able to discredit me and say it’s a conspiracy theory until my Nassau County Criminal Case (Case No: 2020CR364503). 

    The case was criminal alright. The Nassau County District Attorney’s Office and NCPD both knew I was innocent and they could care less. The only witnesses in the case were some of the civilians that work at Nassau County Police Headquarters. 

    Even though they are government employees, I’m not going to say exactly what I uncovered during the pre-trial phase of my Nassau County misdemeanor criminal case. 

    I uncovered something about the Nassau County Police before my trial that in my non-attorney opinion was a huge corruption and theft. Ironically, a few members of Nassau County Police Internal Affairs are part of it. I say “are” instead of “were” because it’s ongoing. 

    Needless to say, the Nassau County District Attorney offered me a violation because it was about to be a huge embarrassment documented for eternity in the case law or court record. 

    In my opinion, that arrest and the documentation that exists turned the fantasy into a reality. It was as sloppy and weak a case as can be in the history of false arrests. 

    NYC law enforcement’s lie and scam team broke my shoulder about a year ago when one of them was chasing me on West 57 St in Manhattan.

    This is the scam that New York City law enforcement is trying to use right now to get me kicked out of Baruch College (2/22/2022).

    The irony of this situation is that I’ve already detailed all the lies and scams that NYC law enforcement is using to try and get me kicked out of Baruch College. Unfortunately, NYC law enforcement has repackaged it and they are coming at me strong this weekend and this week. 

    I don’t care about grades although I do currently have a 3.8 GPA after about 2 years full-time at The City University of New York. 

    This Saturday or sooner I’m about to receive $4,000 in my bank account for student loans. 

    How many street homeless people on welfare on the planet are going to see that amount of money legally in their bank account this week? If I had to guess, not even a fraction of one percent.

    NYC law enforcement has been harassing me non-stop since the first day I was at The City University of New York. 

    The thought that they would try and say that Mark Pine had some type of outburst in class or at Baruch College when I’m doing as well as I am in addition to receiving a large amount of money this week makes me wonder how many innocent people NYC law enforcement has set up on criminal charges and or sabotaged. 

    Not everyone can take the amount of abuse I take on a daily basis without reacting. For example, NYC law enforcement purposely has men that are smaller than me spit in my face, shove their phones in my face, crash into me and do anything they can to try and pick fights with me. I’m smart enough to know that if I even look the wrong way in one of their directions that I will be arrested. 

    NYC law enforcement knows me inside and out better than anyone on this earth. 

    I also know NYC law enforcement better than about 90 percent of civilians or more. The number might be 99.9 percent. 

    This is the scam that NYC law enforcement is using on me right now and this week to try and get me kicked out of Baruch College: 

    I normally sleep in chairs on the subway platforms in Manhattan or on seats on the subway. There is a huge homeless crackdown going on now to get homeless people out of the New York City subway system. 

    NYC law enforcement is going to try and say the pressure of the homeless subway crackdown led to some type of outburst in one of my Baruch College classes. 

    I’m going on the record right now, I can care less. I’ve been homeless for five years. Wherever I’m allowed to sleep, I’ll sleep. I’m staying in New York City. 

    If anything, I’m very comfortable right now. Maybe this will motivate me to work harder to get into an apartment. I wouldn’t go back to another homeless shelter if the government offered me a billion dollars per minute upfront.

    I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. NYC law enforcement drugs me all the time so I have to include that. 

    In my opinion, I’m getting very close to getting a roof back over my head. A lot of people are starting to find out that Mark Pine is being viciously harassed by the NYPD and other NYC law enforcement. 

    Plus that I’m homeless living in the street. Then they hear me talking about it on social media and I’m sharp as a tack and a student at Baruch College. It doesn’t add up. 

    Plus in my opinion, New York City is going to rebound in the coming months and years in regards to the number of people. It’s only a matter of the right individual or organization finding out about me and this nightmare might not be over but I’ll be off the street. 

    NYC law enforcement is being paid by people I can’t mention here to sabotage and discredit me. If I mention the people I know who pay the NYPD to harass me, I will be sued for defamation. 

    In addition to the Nassau County arrest, I have been written at least $3,000 or more worth of tickets while being homeless from New York City. I paid them all. They were never expecting that. 

    1. I would like to know how New York City law enforcement is placing students in my classes to harass me. 
    2. I would like access to view the security camera footage of students harassing me inside Baruch College and in front of the buildings. 
    3. I would like more security cameras inside the Baruch College buildings and stairwells to protect all the students and future students. 

    I’m not mentioning a word of this to anyone at Baruch College. 

    I’m only talking about school at Baruch College. 

    I’m treating everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times. 

    I keep to myself in regards to students at Baruch College unless it’s a mandatory in-class group. 

    Please help. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: Question to Baruch College about unsupervised student groups and pairs outside of the classroom. February 12, 2022.

    Greetings Baruch College,

    You have been more than generous with me in regards to answering my questions. I didn’t think that there was anything we didn’t cover but there is one more thing and you’re the only one that will know the official answer. 

    If you have time for me great, if not I’ll make the best of the situation like I always do and treat everyone with the utmost respect like always. 

    Of course, it’s been well established that getting into groups and pairs with students in classes is mandatory. That’s one hundred percent understood and respected. 

    The new thing that I just learned about is unsupervised student interaction outside of the classroom in person and via the phone. 

    My question for you if possible is can unsupervised student interaction outside of the classroom be mandatory and the sharing of personal information, for example, phone numbers, Zoom info, etc.?

    I was just getting comfortable with student interaction in supervised classrooms, now I’m learning about unsupervised student pairs and the sharing of a lot of personal information outside of class. 

    As you know because you have been more than generous with me in regards to your time, I’m street homeless. 

    I can’t imagine parents would want their children sharing personal information and meeting outside of class with street homeless people.

    Please advise if possible. 

    Thank you again and have a great day.

  • Opinion: Email to one of my Baruch College professors about student groups and pairs. February 12, 2022.

    Greetings Professor, 

    First and foremost I treat everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times. That is more important than anything. 

    Second and foremost, I’ll gladly, happily, and respectfully do anything that you assign to the class. 

    I was working on the homework right now and I had a thought that I wanted to ask you outside of class. 

    Would it be possible to request that all communication and work between my podcasting partner and myself be done in the classroom on Tuesdays? 

    I would prefer not to share any of my personal information with students for the sake of privacy and security. I would also prefer to interact with my podcasting partner(s) in a supervised classroom instead of an unsupervised location. 

    I’m a very social people person outside of school, although at school I have my guard up due to several experiences I’ve had with students since starting at CUNY two years ago. 

    When interacting with students, I treat them with the utmost respect. I only talk about schoolwork. I don’t joke around at all. I don’t talk about anything controversial. 

    I just wanted to include that I love this class. The material is awesome. I think you’re a great professor and that you have designed a class that is very beneficial for students. 

    I’ll do anything you tell me to do. I just wanted to let you know what’s on my mind just in case any accommodations can be made. Also, I didn’t want to approach you with this on the fly in class. I thought it would be better to bring this up via email in advance so you can answer when you are available. 

    The thought of meeting with students off-campus and sharing personal information is very scary for me due to the astronomical amount of complaints from students against students in New York colleges. 

    Almost 4K sexual violence complaints made at New York colleges (nypost.com)

    Between you and me I’m street homeless. I don’t think that many parents would want their children sharing personal information and meeting with street homeless people outside of the classroom. 

    Also, my personal data/information isn’t secure at all. I have been robbed four separate times in the past two months. People stole my phone four separate times in Midtown Manhattan in the past four months. 

    I have woken up with my phones and laptops missing so many times over the years I lost count. Then when I get my phone back I see people have gone into my accounts and sent messages, erased things, uploaded pictures into my accounts, contacted people, and everything else you can imagine. 

    I have so many police reports reporting all the times I’ve been robbed that I literally lost count because I’ve been street homeless for five years.

    On a positive note, I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t have a criminal record. I don’t do anything illegal. Homeless people have a bad reputation so I like to include that when I mention that I’m homeless. 

    In regards to schoolwork I’m moving full steam ahead. I almost always turn in homework on time or early. I don’t care about grades at all. Luckily I’ve been on the Dean’s List for the past four or five semesters.

    In regards to student loans and the welfare office, all I need is a C or D. I’m happy to earn As and Bs although I’m at Baruch College to learn and elevate my situation which is what I’m doing. 

    Also, the welfare office tells everyone that if a man looks at a woman if it’s determined to be leering, all food and benefits will immediately be discontinued, and the person will have to eat at soup kitchens. I have eaten at some soup kitchens in New York City and to be honest I’d rather eat dog food, it’s probably safer. If I’m correct, Baruch College has a leering policy as well. 

    That is why I would feel more comfortable in a supervised atmosphere. Also, I’m glad I remembered to mention to you that I’m street homeless because I don’t want any parents to complain to the school and cause anyone any grief. 

    I’m not embarrassed about being street homeless at all. From a legal standpoint if you would like to announce to the class that Mark Pine is street homeless is there anyone that wouldn’t mind being in a group with him. There is a good chance that students could see me sleeping in the subway so there is no point trying to hide it. 

    Thanks to CUNY and HRA I have places to shower, keep my things, wash my clothes, etc. Unfortunately, I don’t like living in homeless shelters so I have to sleep in the subway or on benches when it’s warm.

    I’ll be honest I’m in better spirits now than I was when I was living on the Upper East Side, always behind on my rent. Of course, my number one goal is to get back into an apartment, I’m just saying living in an apartment that I couldn’t afford wasn’t the most fun I’ve ever had. At least now I don’t have that hanging over my head twenty-four hours per day. 

    I make videos on social media talking about how I’m street homeless. I’m trying to raise awareness about how there are a lot of homeless people like myself that just have bad credit and no money. We work. We go to school. We are trying to elevate our situation.

    The general public thinks every homeless person is pushing a shopping cart yelling at an imaginary friend. Plus, drunk and on drugs. I have met many homeless people that have normal jobs and are trying to elevate their situation. 

    I’m more than happy to pair up with any student you assign. I’m just a little cautious about having unsupervised contact with students outside of class. 

    Please let me know if you require any additional information from me and any feedback would be appreciated. Regardless of what the decision is, I’ll make the best of it like I always do and I’ll continue to treat everyone professionally and with the utmost respect.

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: Email to a professor about maintaining my privacy amongst students during a class speech. February 12, 2022.

    Greetings Professor,

    I am loving the information I’m learning in this class. It’s actually fun. I feel like I’m almost taking an acting class. 

    I just turned in discussion board homework 3 and I’m working on the speech. 

    I was curious if I have to use my full name in my speech – Mark Pine ? 

    I try to maintain my privacy from students when possible due to the alarming number of complaints from students against students in New York colleges every year. If I’m correct the number is in the thousands just in New York every year.

    There has been New York education staff saying the situation is out of control.  

    Almost 4K sexual violence complaints made at New York colleges (nypost.com)

    I have literally had students start to yell and scream at me in the middle of CUNY classes that I have absolutely no idea who they are and never said one word to the person. Nor have I ever made one statement in a class that was even borderline controversial. 

    It’s also been stated that students that don’t have wealthy parents, such as me, who can cut the check to lawyers to fend off false or true accusations are the ones who get in trouble when complaints are logged against them. 

    If I have to share my full name during the speech of course I’ll gladly do it. Your one of my favorite professors, the class flies by. If I’m allowed to use just my first name or change my last name, I would prefer that if possible. If not it’s no big deal I just wanted to ask. 

    Please advise. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: The lawsuit I filed against CUNY.

    The City University of New York Lawsuit 

    Disclaimers: I’m not a lawyer. Verify everything yourself. I’m a pro se plaintiff suing The City University of New York in the New York Court of Claims. The case is ongoing. The claim number is 137416.

    January 16, 2022

    I would like to sue The City University of New York for $150,000.00 for intentional tort. 

    Before I get into the information that is within the ninety days requirement of evidence for filing a lawsuit, I would like to include a few things that I believe are important about this situation. 

    There is absolutely no animosity or negativity from me towards The City University of New York (CUNY). 

    One reason for this lawsuit is to secure my future at The City University of New York as a student and eventually graduate student. 

    I love The City University of New York. The student support staff, the professors, the maintenance team, the security guards, and the students are as good as it gets. I am very appreciative to be part of the CUNY family. 

    The United States Government and the New York Government have done a fantastic job setting up the CUNY platform to help people like myself succeed. 

    When I started at CUNY I didn’t have a phone. I didn’t have a laptop. I didn’t have anything. I was living in the street homeless with about $5 per day for food given to me from the public assistance office (Human Resources Administration). 

    I’m still living in the street homeless. Contrary to popular belief about homeless people I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t date. I don’t have a criminal record. I don’t do anything illegal. I have and would starve before I would steal. 

    Now thanks to CUNY, student loans, and HRA, I have laptops. I have phones. I have places to shower. I have clothes. CUNY and HRA saved my life. 

    I have been full-time at CUNY for five semesters. My GPA is 3.875. I have been on the Dean’s List every semester. 

    There were a couple of semesters where my GPA was a 4.0 while living in the street homeless. 

    In addition to my past success at CUNY, because I’m 45 years old and have had decades to think about school strategies, I have already started studying for the most difficult classes months or years before they begin so I can continue to enjoy learning. 

    For example, I have already started studying for Math and Spanish months and years before I plan on taking them. 

    Studying in advance makes it a lot easier. I believe that proves my dedication and respect for CUNY and my education. 

    CUNY didn’t show up on my doorstep, I showed up on theirs. CUNY was doing just fine without me. I haven’t done anything for CUNY, they have done everything for me. 

    That is why I always treat everyone at CUNY with the absolute utmost respect at all times. That is regardless of what is going on. 

    I don’t care if someone at CUNY pours a can of paint on my head, punches me in the face, and snaps my laptop in half. I will walk away without saying a word and report it to the Manhattan District Attorney or NYPD. 

    I never bring up a word about anything going on in my life with anyone at CUNY besides the Dean via email. 

    I never partake in any controversial conversations at CUNY. 

    I never socialize with anyone, female or male, at CUNY. When I’m at CUNY I only talk about school. I never talk about anything else. 

    I would not ever hit on or try to date any woman at CUNY. After what the NYPD and NYC law enforcement has put me through with women I can’t imagine ever dating again. 

    If I do every date again, the only thing I know for sure is that it’s won’t be any woman connected with CUNY.

    Now let’s get to the negativity. 

    People I know are paying the NYPD and other New York City law enforcement to try and get me kicked out of CUNY right now today. 

    Right now on January 24, 2022, my phone number is blocked from calling NYPD headquarters, NYPD Internal Affairs, all the NYPD Precincts. 

    The New York FBI blocked my phone number. 

    The US Attorney Southern District Blocked my phone number. 

    The Civilian Complaint Review Board has not helped me at all. 

    The Manhattan Borough President’s office hasn’t helped me at all. 

    The New York City Public Advocates office hasn’t helped me at all. 

    In the last ninety days, I have had my cell phone stolen 4 separate times in Midtown Manhattan. 

    The NYPD told me they made police reports for three of the phones, the NYPD 1 Precinct refused to give me a police report for the fourth phone.

    The following are the strategies that NYC law enforcement is using right now and in the past ninety days to get me kicked out of Baruch College. 

    The NYPD is blocking me from taking courses I need to graduate at CUNY. The NYPD just goes to whoever is in charge of schedules and takes away certain classes I need to graduate and/or the NYPD has members of their student team fill up the classes I need before I’m able to sign up for the classes. 

    The NYPD has it set up at CUNY where their student team can sign up for classes before any other students are allowed to sign up. 

    There are several CUNY staff, CUNY professors, and CUNY students helping NYC law enforcement try and sabotage me at CUNY. 

    I’m going on the record right now and saying I don’t take it personally that CUNY staff and CUNY students are working with NYC law enforcement to sabotage me and trying to get me kicked out of school over a bunch of lies. 

    NYC law enforcement harasses me every day. I can’t blame anyone for trying to avoid being abused by NYC law enforcement. 

    Also, I believe that NYC law enforcement has the ability to have almost any staff member at CUNY fired if the CUNY staff member doesn’t do what NYC law enforcement tells her/him. 

    Therefore if a member of the CUNY staff tried to help me, it wouldn’t accomplish anything, and she/he might end up having to sleep in a chair on the subway as I do. I can’t blame anyone for trying to avoid that fate. 

    That is why I don’t have any animosity towards anyone at CUNY even the staff and students that are trying to sabotage me and get me kicked out of CUNY on behalf of NYC law enforcement. 

    I never mention a word about the staff, students, and professors, trying to sabotage me at CUNY to their faces, even when it’s totally obvious. I just play along and keep quiet. 

    Here are the scams NYC law enforcement is using right now and in the past ninety days to try and get me kicked out of Baruch College.

    1.       NYC law enforcement will/has forced my professors to pair me up with a woman or several women in my classes at Baruch College. Then NYC law enforcement will make the woman/women and me share all our personal information. For example, full name, email, phone number, etc. 

    Then NYC law enforcement will remotely access my phone or laptop or both or wait until I’m sleeping and look the woman/women from school up from my devices. 

    Then NYC law enforcement will send messages to the women through social media, email, etc. that are totally inappropriate. 

    I would never speak with any student, female or male, outside of school or in school unless it’s mandatory for a class. 

    Anytime I have to interact with students when it’s mandatory I only talk about school and I treat everyone with the utmost respect at all times. 

    NYC law enforcement has taken all the fun out of college for me. 

    I’m scared to talk with anyone out of fear that NYC law enforcement is going to order the person to make up lies about what I said. 

    NYC law enforcement has students, staff, and professors, that they are connected with cut me off, crash into me, and hold their phones in my face like they are under attack when I’m minding my own business carefully walking through the halls. 

    I respectfully keep to myself in regards to students at my college. I’m a people person. I enjoy meeting people. Under the circumstances, I find it best to keep to myself at Baruch College. 

    If you look at my social media, several posts say that NYC law enforcement will not stop harassing me please help. 

    I don’t think it would be appropriate to speak with students, professors, staff, or anyone at CUNY / Baruch College about NYC law enforcement harassing me. 

    I’m definitely not trying to meet or date any women at CUNY or anywhere for that matter at this time. 

    2.       NYC law enforcement will have a professor assign some type of out loud reading in front of the whole class. The reading will get me to say some crazy things that I would never say that are totally inappropriate. For example, NYC law enforcement likes to use racist material in these types of circumstances. NYC law enforcement also likes to try and get me to say things about conspiracy theories.  

    It’s already happened and I respectfully declined. Now NYC law enforcement is forcing me into situations where I have to follow their instructions. 

    Then the professor will say she/he never assigned me to say the crazy things they made me say. The whole entire class, professor, everyone will say they are terrified of me, and no one is coming back to school until I’m gone.

    3.       NYC law enforcement will have students, staff, and professors crash into me, cut me off, and shove their phones in my face, on and off-campus. Then the students will say Mark Pine is stalking the person, picking fights with the person, Mark Pine is a menace, etc.

    4.       NYC law enforcement will have a professor talk about a controversial topic. Then NYC law enforcement will get the professor and the whole class to lie and say Mark Pine had some type of outburst in class. 

    Then NYC law enforcement will edit some of the audio of me reporting NYC law enforcement on the phone while NYC law enforcement was harassing me and say the audio was directed towards students, staff, and professors at Baruch College CUNY. 

    5. NYC law enforcement has several hundreds of hours of audio of me complaining about them on various government agencies’ voicemails. 

    NYC law enforcement can and has easily edited the audio and say the audio was directed towards people at CUNY / Baruch College.

    If taken out of context the audio would be totally inappropriate for CUNY and this courtroom. 

    For example, I have made comments on district attorneys’ and US Attornies’ voicemails that were pertinent to my ongoing battle with NYC law enforcement. The statements I left on the district attornies and US attornies voicemails would be totally inappropriate for this courtroom and CUNY.

    I believe in the United States Government and New York State judicial system. 

    I know we need police or we would all be dead. Still, that’s no excuse for the NYPD to take money to ruin my life. Whenever I interact with the NYPD in person I treat them with the utmost respect at all times. 

    Thank you and have a great day. 

  • Opinion: Controversial conversations at Baruch College. February 11, 2022.

    Greetings Baruch College,

    Next week in one of my classes we are reviewing a book that contains controversial writing about the US government, FBI and police. I’m going on the record right now I’m not saying one negative word ever at Baruch College about the US Government, FBI, and police.

    Outside of school/CUNY is a different story. I’ll complain all day long when I’m outside of school to people that are NOT connected with CUNY.

    Last semester I would skip classes when I knew there was going to be a discussion about a controversial topic.

    This semester I want to have a 100 percent attendance record so I’m not skipping any more classes. I’m just going to keep 100 percent quiet. If the professor calls on me for an answer it’s going to be I love the US government, I love the FBI, and I especially love the police. Everyone is doing their best with what they have to work with.

    Outside of school I’m launching lawsuits against all of them. I don’t have any points to get across to anyone at CUNY besides I respect everyone with the utmost respect humanly possible.

    My goals are to continue to treat everyone at CUNY with the utmost respect at all times and only talk about school never anything personal.

    Graduate from CUNY.

    Have a positive impact on society.

    Get back into an apartment so I don’t have to sleep in the subway.

    Thank you and have a great day.

    Ever upward,

    Mark Pine

  • Opinion: Email with Baruch College about the NYPD being paid to sabotage me.

    Greetings Baruch College CUNY,

    Thank you for your concern. 

    I never shared or mentioned my social media profile with anyone at Baruch College. Maybe someone searched my name. 

    I never mention a word about the police harassing me with anyone at Baruch College. 

    I treat everyone at CUNY with the utmost respect at all times.

    I filed a Notice of Claim with the NYC Comptroller’s Office to sue the NYPD. I have a hearing set up by the NYC Comptroller’s Office to sue the NYPD (attached). 

    After the hearing, I will efile a pro se lawsuit against the NYPD in the New York County Supreme Court. 

    Thanks to CUNY I have an account with justanswer.com. For $60 per month, I can ask attorneys unlimited questions.

    Justanswer.com saved me from going to jail when I was falsely arrested in Nassau County. Instead of allowing my public defender to send me to jail, I represented myself with attorneys consulting me on justanswer.com. 

    Also, I think the judge was impressed and surprised when I requested a bench trial instead of a jury trial. The DA and Police weren’t expecting that move. I could tell they wanted the jury.

    I trust a judge more than I trust a jury. A lot of people think they have a better chance with a jury than a judge, I side with the judge. 

    I’m also in contact with the NYC Public Advocate’s Office, Manhattan Borough President’s Office, NYPD Internal Affairs, the Civilian Complaint Review Board, the New York City Department of Investigation, and many others.

    I’m contacting organizations and agencies outside of CUNY for help with the NYPD harassing me. 

    I’ll gladly do anything you request. I have the utmost respect for you. You and your staff are as good as it gets. Baruch College is amazing. I’m going to go from homeless to an apartment because of Baruch College one day. 

    When I see the occasional person complain about Baruch College on Yelp or Google Reviews, I say to myself, what more could Baruch College possibly be doing for us students? 

    I have been provided the best support since the day I started at LaGuardia Community College and the stellar support has continued at Baruch College. 

    I love Baruch College. It’s a privilege to attend Baruch College. That is why I’m walking on eggshells at Baruch College at all times. 

    If you want to have a phone call about me looking for help outside of CUNY because the police are harassing me of course I’ll speak with you anytime that is convenient for you. I just want to let you know that I don’t have anything I would like to share besides answering your questions. 

    I will gladly and respectfully answer any questions you have for me although there is no new ground that we are going to cover. You know my story inside and out at this point in time. You know my story better than most of my family and the people I grew up with. 

    All my professors are amazing. I love my classes. I have a 3.875 GPA. I’m a 10X better student than when I started. 

    I’m about to receive $4,000 in my bank account as a student loan refund. Life is great compared to before I started at CUNY. I have laptops, phones, clothes, places to shower, etc. 

    I’m used to the police harassing me at this point. I’m doing everything I can to legally get them to stop. 

    I’m making the best of the situation and trying to elevate my situation every day. There is nothing new that is happening that hasn’t been covered in the emails I’ve sent you months ago about my living situation and being harassed by the police.  

    Please let me know when you would like to speak. Friday would be best because I don’t have classes that day. 

    Hopefully, in the future, I would prefer to discuss with you how I’m sharing the study strategies I’m learning at Baruch College with students all over the city and helping them succeed at school. For example, obtaining coursework months and years before taking the classes and starting to study for classes before they begin. I believe there is a huge number of parents and students that would utilize that idea if they heard it. I’m going to try and share it with them. My goal in life is to have a positive impact on society and be successful.

    If you want to skip the call we can do that too because we have already gone over everything that is on my social media about the police trying to sabotage me. I actually feel bad because if anything I’ve taken up too much of your time for one student. Moving forward when I’m interacting with you, I would prefer for it to be about positivity, how much I appreciate attending Baruch College, and how I found a home. 

    Please advise. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

    Mark Pine

  • Opinion: Email to NYC HRA about NYC law enforcement trying to sabotage me on January 13, 2022.

    Disclaimers: If you have an emergency call 911. Use this information at your own risk. Results aren’t guaranteed. Verify everything yourself.

    Greetings New York City Human Resources Administration Commissioner, 

    First and foremost I always treat everyone at New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA) with the utmost respect at all times. That is more important than anything. 

    I understand that everyone at HRA is doing their best. 

    HRA saved my life after people I know paid NYC law enforcement (NYPD, etc.) to sabotage my web marketing business and run me into the ground. 

    NYC law enforcement tried to have me locked up. That didn’t work although NYC law enforcement was easily able to make me homeless. 

    My web marketing clients appreciated my services but not enough to deal with the drama from NYC law enforcement. 

    If it wasn’t for HRA I would have starved to death. I can’t thank you enough for feeding me and helping me pay some bills to keep me functioning on some level. 

    I can’t go to soup kitchens because NYC law enforcement is friends with some of the kitchens. Some, not all, NYC soup kitchens allow NYC law enforcement to sabotage the food of people that NYC law enforcement doesn’t like. I’m not trying to figure out which ones are which. I’ve seen NYC law enforcement and their regular clothes lie and scam team messing around with the food with my own eyes at multiple soup kitchens plus I’ve eaten the tainted food. 

    Here are the reasons for my inquiry to you right now: 

    1. I receive $33 every Monday on my HRA public assistance card to purchase a MetroCard. On Monday, December 27, 2021, and every Monday since I haven’t received the money to purchase the MetroCard. 

    With the generous way that the federal government has been supporting poor people such as myself, I would be surprised if the federal government is telling HRA to stop paying for people’s MetroCards during a short recess from school. Especially for the individuals that are already signed up for the following semester. 

    What I think is going on is NYC law enforcement is up to their usual tricks and scams. I suspect that NYC law enforcement told HRA to stop paying for MetroCards during the break so they can provide MetroCards to all the people who are affiliated with them and they can block people that NYC enforcement doesn’t like such as me from receiving MetroCard money. 

    I am respectfully requesting to be reimbursed for the MetroCards I’ve had to buy for the past few weeks. Every MetroCard I’ve purchased was either with my HRA card or my debit card so I can easily prove the MetroCards were purchased. 

    2. The next reason I would like to speak to someone from HRA either in person, via email, or on the phone is about the possibility that NYC law enforcement will get me thrown out of Baruch College CUNY. 

    I don’t have a criminal record. I don’t do anything illegal. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t date. Anytime I interact with anyone at Baruch College I only talk about school and I treat everyone with the utmost respect at all times. 

    Needless to say, it doesn’t matter what I do. People I know pay New York City law enforcement to sabotage me and harass me. 

    The bar is so low for NYC law enforcement to sabotage me it’s not even funny. Realistically, what am I going to do? All I can do is sue and New York City has the best legal information money can buy and I’m homeless and on welfare. 


    Let me give you a quick example of how I suspect NYC law enforcement is going to try to have me kicked out of Baruch College. 

    1. NYC law enforcement will pair me up with a woman or several women in my classes at Baruch College. Then NYC law enforcement will make everyone share all their personal information. For example, full name, email, phone number, etc. Then NYC law enforcement will remotely access my phone or laptop or both or wait until I’m sleeping and look the woman/women from school up from my devices. Then NYC law enforcement will send messages to the women through social media, email, etc. that are totally inappropriate. I would never speak with any student, female or male, outside of school or in school unless it’s mandatory for a class. Anytime I have to interact with students when it’s mandatory I only talk about school and I treat everyone with the utmost respect at all times. NYC law enforcement has taken all the fun out of college for me. I respectfully keep to myself in regards to students at my college. I’m a people person. I enjoy meeting people. Under the circumstances, I find it best to keep to myself at Baruch College. If you look at my social media, almost every post is NYC law enforcement will not stop harassing me please help. I don’t think it would be appropriate to speak with students, professors, staff, or anyone at Baruch College about NYC law enforcement harassing me. 

    2. NYC law enforcement will have a professor assign some type of out loud reading in front of the whole class. The reading will get me to say some crazy things that I would never say that are totally inappropriate. It’s already happened and I respectfully declined. Now NYC law enforcement is forcing me into situations where I have to follow their instructions. It’s well documented that law enforcement uses these types of scams. Then the professor will say she/he never assigned me to say the crazy things they made me say. The whole entire class, professor, everyone will say they are terrified of me, and no one is coming back to school until I’m gone. 

    3. NYC law enforcement will have students who unofficially work for them “off the record” crash into me, cut me off, and shove their phones in my face, on and off-campus. Then the students will say Mark Pine is stalking me, picking fights with me, Mark Pine is a menace, etc. 

    4. NYC law enforcement will have a professor talk about a controversial topic. Then NYC law enforcement will get the professor and the whole class to lie and say I had some type of outburst. Then NYC law enforcement will edit some of the audio of me arguing with NYC law enforcement on the phone while NYC law enforcement was attacking me and say the audio was directed towards students, staff, and professors at Baruch College CUNY. 

    I’m doing everything I can legally to try and hold on at Baruch College. The reality of the situation is that there is a small chance that NYC law enforcement will succeed in their pursuit of having me kicked out of Baruch College. 

    If NYC law enforcement succeeds in having me kicked out of Baruch College I will be back in the welfare job program. 

    I’m not naming names because I don’t want to be sued for defamation. Let’s just say that I suspect NYC law enforcement has complete control over me when I’m in the welfare job program. Also, NYC law enforcement visits any company that is thinking about hiring me and tells the companies not to hire me. 

    Also, without naming names, NYC law enforcement has staff at the welfare job center and other “clients” like me harassing and teasing me every day at the welfare job program. 

    Before I was at Baruch College I would have loved a job making around $400 per week after taxes working 30 to 40 hours per week. I’m working 80 to 100 hours per week between my work at Baruch College and dealing with one disaster after the next that NYC law enforcement creates for me on a daily basis. 

    I would like to know how can HRA try to protect me from NYC law enforcement if by some unfortunate circumstance I end up back in the welfare job program?

    It’s very clear that once again, NYC law enforcement has complete control over the welfare job program in regards to blocking someone such as myself from getting help. 

    I applied to hundreds if not thousands of jobs while I was in the welfare job program and I was never hired for any of them. I would have been as happy as can be working in the fast-food industry. Unfortunately, no one would hire me. 

    My goal is to graduate from Baruch College so hopefully, I won’t be back in the welfare job program. I’m also trying to figure out how to earn money to get off welfare although anytime I start moving forward NYC law enforcement scares everyone away from doing business with me. 

    I have almost no credibility because I’m homeless. The little credibility I can claim is that I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t party, I don’t date, and I don’t have a criminal record. Furthermore, I have a 3.8 GPA at Baruch College/LaGuardia Community College/CUNY after 4 full-time semesters living in the street homeless with NYC law enforcement harassing me the whole time. 

    Please provide any feedback you deem appropriate. 

    Thank you and have a great day. 

    Mark Pine
